Full details

The Vivienne Westwood Skeleton Long Necklace is an iconic statement piece designed for fashion-conscious adults who appreciate the intersection of high fashion and punk history. Drawing inspiration from the brand's legendary Autumn-Winter 1982-1983 'Pirate' collection, this necklace serves as a bold, conversation-starting accessory that elevates minimalist outfits with its intricate skeleton silhouette. While the polished silver-tone finish offers a sophisticated gleam, users should be aware that the delicate, movable hinged joints require careful handling to prevent snagging on clothing or damage during storage.

FAQs

Is this necklace made of solid sterling silver?

This piece features a polished silver-tone finish, reflecting the house's aesthetic style rather than being composed of solid precious metals.

Can the skeleton joints be removed?

No, the hinged joints are an integral part of the design and should not be removed or disassembled.

Does the necklace come with a warranty?

Vivienne Westwood jewelry is subject to standard manufacturing defect policies; please contact your point of purchase for specific warranty coverage.

How long is the necklace chain?

The necklace features a 'long' design intended to sit lower on the chest, making it perfect for pairing with heavier garments.

Can I wear this in the shower?

It is recommended to remove the necklace before showering or swimming to prevent potential water damage or chemical tarnishing to the finish.

Troubleshooting

The skeleton limbs feel stiff or are not moving freely.

Gently manipulate the joints by hand to loosen any minor debris or lint caught in the hinges. Ensure no heavy oils have been applied to the metal.

The necklace has developed a dull appearance.

Use a specialized, non-abrasive silver polishing cloth to buff the surface gently until the original shine is restored.

Pros and Cons

  • Articulated joints provide unique movement
  • Distinctive design with historical brand significance
  • Versatile length for various styling options

Cons

  • Hinged joints require gentle care to avoid snagging

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Vivienne Westwood necklace, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Storage: Store the necklace individually in a soft velvet pouch or the original branded box to prevent the hinged joints from tangling with other jewelry.
  2. Cleaning: Use only a soft, dry microfiber cloth to wipe down the surface. Avoid chemical jewelry cleaners, as these can damage the silver-tone finish and the mechanics of the joints.
  3. Usage: Avoid wearing the necklace during physical exercise, swimming, or while applying cosmetics, perfumes, or hairsprays, as moisture and chemicals can cause premature tarnishing.
  4. Handling: When putting on or taking off the necklace, ensure the articulated joints are not caught in your hair or clothing to maintain the integrity of the hinges.
